Doing The Dance Of DACA

Must be Donald Trump’s favorite song is Sting’s “If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free”…or in his case, if you say you love someone, deport them…Trump’s decision to eliminate the DACA program has stirred up more stuff than Hurricane Irma’s doing in the Atlantic right now. People on all sides are throwing shade at the Head Cheeto, including the former Prez, who’s been pretty quiet since leaving town. Trump’s minions claim he’s trying to goad Congress into continuing the program in a legal fashion…that translates to ‘we can’t win the lawsuits against this because our legal team sucks worse than melted M and M’s’. It also forces immigration reform back into the big picture discussion. If you want to stop illegal aliens from entering the country, fine, I don’t have an issue with that…but you also need to expedite the process for those who are legally entering, because right now trying to get in and become a citizen makes Rip Van Winkle’s story look like a power nap. Look at it this way…how’d you like to be uprooted out of your daily life and plunked down in a foreign land where you don’t know the customs, the language, the money system, and have no job, no family, and no leg to stand on…just because your parents came from there? It’s another typical play from an administration that blames others for its problems rather than looking at itself.
